I didn't think that Nuriko would actually die. It felt so unreal. :'(
Nuriko is not only one of the main characters, but also one of the best.
I'm living on the hope that Nuriko will be brought back to life in the end, but that feels quite unlikely. *Cry*

I still clung to the idea that the imposter flutist wasn't dead yet, but with this episode I finally realized it isn't that kind of anime.

Nooooooooo, Nuriko was the best out of the bunch. He was the most enjoyable character to watch and for most of the series he was one of the few characters not obsessed with Miaka

Watching the rest of the show is going to be so much less enjoyable. Though it's getting annoying to watch because Miaka is just so dumb. Like seriously

This piece of sh*t show! LOL.

They killed him! I even fast forward the scene thinking he was gonna be ok.

Argh! Why did Tamahome tell Yui they found the place?! This show legit stresses me out and at the same time it's like crack.

......o-kay, that montage seemed quite, very outta place there, cuz it never happened.
ah, the 90s...

whooooop- it happened, pff.
people's reaction to characters dropping off -w-...

...it was a good long run for an entire 33-... uhh... 32 episodes, at least ;D
it's kinda funny how Tanuki's reaction goes -.w-.'
actually, Miyaka too.
denial people, denial -.w-.'

you should just go get that shishi-treasure or something before the blue boys and their tag team of females pop up to steal it away, yo =w='

"i can erase hsi wounds" <--ohhh, fixes clothes too, prlffftt.

ooo-hoo-hoo-hoo.............. i miss him already T_T'

Everyone was so quiet that I literally burst into tears in front of my laptop when Tasuki spoke, he just had to say what everyone feels at that moment. DAMN THIS SERIES, SO MUCH TWISTS AND TURNS!! Not that I hate it but it's too much for my heart to handle. T_____T First and only series that made me feel this strongly about each of the characters. Watase Yuu is such a sadist great mangaka...

Goddammit and I even had a totally not gay attraction to this character. Oh well it's an honorable death on a quest to save the world, there are worse ways to join the beyond.

I shipped our firey red head, Tasuke, with Nuriko.. Hard.... It made so much sense in my head. So his reaction was especially emotional.
RIP Nuriko.

nooooooo :(((((
Is this really necessary?
I mean why didn't they meet up and go there together, whyyy??
I wanna kill nakago :) but that's not new
Of course Nuriko slowly managed to make me love him/her and then die like this...
And now this miraculous feeling of loving and hating this anime at the same time

This death scene literally reminded me of Abbacchio. They're so close to their goal. And then the enemy kills one of them off who nearly gets them to the goal.

And when Tasuki was in disbelief over the death it reminded me of Narancia's reaction to Abbacchio being dead. It was so fucking sad for both scenes. Both had me bawling.

Nuriko was one of my favorites for sure.

That said, it was a welcome moment of absurd nonsense. The whole rest of the episode trying to make me cry, it was nice having that brief WTF moment to break it up.

Nuriko was the best character, this made me cry so much, probably one of the saddest anime deaths I've watched. Would it be too much to expect Miaka to bring back Nuriko using one of the wishes? oooor maybe I'm just in denial...
